Relationships between multivitamins, blood biochemistry markers, and BMC and BMD based on RF: A cross-sectional and population-based study of NHANES, 2017-2018. by Lijuan Xu, Mengqi Wu, Ying Zhang, Hongsheng Kun, Jiangbao Xu

“…<h4>Results</h4>Under the dimension reduction and comparison selection of RF model, we identified ALP, CPK, and creatinine serum concentrations as the most important factors associated with BMC and BMD in multiple skeletal sites, and the gender, age, height, weight, and body mass index which were found to be related to BMC and BMD in different skeletal sites. Vitamin D and blood calcium serum concentrations were not the important factors associated with BMC and BMD and the three blood biochemical indexes were more important than the vitamin level for BMC and BMD.…”
